Thank you Ian Garry for making me like Paddy again!

[@thomassmith6638]

So true 😂

[@user-co7yl3kr3t]

Lmao no joke. After the Gordon fight and the Ariel interview stuff, I really started disliking Paddy, but I'm starting to warm back up to the boi

[@Cruzyyy100]

Lmaooo I think everyone feels that way. If he could submit him or knock him out I’ll be a fan again but regardless he will never be a champ let’s be real lol

[@user-co7yl3kr3t]

@@Cruzyyy100 no doubt, he looked awesome in the first round then gassed out. He’s gonna be a mid-tier 155er at best. I don’t think he’s even going to get to Darren Tills level if I’m being totally honest lol

I personally like Paddy. The Jared Gordon thing was never truly all that serious. In fact, according to him here, him and Jared Gordon have no beef. With Paddy's twins on the way with his lady, the guy seems to be doing well in life and is maturing. I say more power to him.

[@sebastiangomez747]

​@@michaelcox4639how is it negativity, paddy lost the fight and claimed he won, at the moment its died down, and paddy is a cool fighter. But the point still stands, paddy didn't win the fight and acted like he did and that annoyed fans it was a robbery, did people go to far against him, yeah, but the whole reason for the backlash on paddy, was because of paddy he put that on himself.

[@truthmustprevail8598]

i can see olivia pretending that see understood everything paddy said😂😂😂😂

[@straightslavhussar]

Tony doesnt have it anymore. That fight where Justin almost killed him was the end. Even walking into the cage Tony looked old and not healthy like himself. Tony the type of guy to lose 6 fights in a row to see who are his true fans. Im calling it right now after one or two hard hits to tonys face its a wrap.

[@sebastiangomez747]

Well yeah, cause tony was gonna fight khabib then khabib pulled out, and Tony had to do 2 weight cuts and was like on 1 weeks notice when fighting gaethje, which is insane, 37 year old Tony who was on one week's notice and had suffered through 2 weight cuts, and had no coaches, still took the fight against justin gaethje which just shows Tony was always Diff.

[@sebastiangomez747]

Tony fought harder punches, ain't no way paddy just hitting tony 2 times and it's game.
